Join BIYA BIYA as we welcome a community auntie and artist to lead us in a Persian Calligraphy Workshop! Come learn the basic strokes of nastaliq – most commonly used for Persian poetry but shared across Arabic, Dari, Pashto & Urdu letters. No experience in these alphabets or nastaliq script is required, and it is open to non-native Persian speakers. The session will first start with a presentation on the general history of calligraphy across cultures.

Then, through guided practice, participants write a message in Persian to exercise the basic strokes of lettering for calligraphy. 

All supplies are provided for use during the session. 

Workshop will begin promptly at 12pm, please be on time! Only 15 spots to ensure quality hands-on instruction.
